JOBST® Comprinet Pro is an anti-embolism stocking, indicated for prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis in surgical patients and patients requiring prolonged periods of immobilization.
IntroductionSpecification

This promotes blood circulation in the venous system and reduces the risk of deep vein thrombosis and venous stasis.The compression stocking is intended to be used for thrombosis prophylaxis in surgical patients and patients requiring prolonged periods of immobilization.Some of the key attributes of JOBST® Comprinet Pro include:
